4 Claims.

The present invention relates to a sandbox for children and has for its object to providea structure which is simple, inexpensive to manufacture, strong and durable, thoroughlylefiicient'and re- 5 liable and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed. l i n Another veryimportant object of the invention resides in the provision of benches associated with the sandbox and capable of being adjusted toward and away from the sandbox.

With'the above andnumerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds,v the invention consists in certain novel features ofv construction; and in thel combination and arrangement of lparts as vwillbe hereinafter more fully described and claimed. f f

. Inthe drawings: y Figure 1 is a topplan view of aA sandbox embodying the features of my invention.

` Figure 2 is a longitudinal vertical `section therethrough taken substantially on fthe line 2 2- of Figure 1. l A i Figure 3 is a verticaltransverse section therethrough.

Figure 4 is a side elevation thereof. i Figure 5 is a perspective view of one., of the supports, and Y Figure 6 is a perspective view of benches. `Referring to the drawings in detailv it will be .seen that the letter B denotes generally a recone of the i tangular box like structure consisting of longitudinal side walls" 5 and transverse end wells` 6.! Bottom sections 7 are fixed to the bottom edges Tof the end walls 6 and to adjacent portions of the Aside walls and terminate in spaced relation to Aeach other and at their inner *endshave vrising therefrom walls 8 terminatingshort of the upper edges of the walls 5 anda playplatforrnv 9 is f mounted thereon. Angle members 10 are fixed to the corners of the box like structure Vand exl tend downwardly therebelow to provide legs.

Bench supports comprise horizontal members 11 fixed under the bottom sections'l inwardly of the legs 10 `andrextending out beyond the-side .walls 5; having'their outer endsrsupported by, j .legsv 12h., The outer portions yof the members 11V are slotted as indicated atll. The benches in clude the `elongated planksA Y 15 `having cleatsY .'16 ,fixed thereto and formed With ribs 17 to lslide in the slots 14"so that the benchesY may be adjustedl toward and' away from the box like structure.

-It is thought thatthe construction, advantages and utility. of the device will now be quite ap- Y lower than parent to those skilled in this art without a more detailed description thereof. f' v The present embodiment of the invention has Y been described'in considerable detail merely for the purposes of exemplificationsincefin actual practice `it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description. v n It will be apparent'that changes in the details of construction, and in thecombination and ar-` rangement of parts may be resorted to without l Y departing from the spirit or scope Vof theinvention as hereinafter claimed or sacricingany of its advantages. c Having thus described my invention, ,what` I kclaim as new is:
